    Where to find FREE images

    Where to find free images

    We all know that our posts need images, especially if we want to be shared on social media and who doesn't want to be shared?
    No one will share your post on facebook or Pinterest unless it has an image.
    So no more excuses for not having a great photo even if you are not a great photographer because... here are over 15 places to get wonderful, free images online, right now, today. They are all free to use on your blog, website or on social media.

    Let's start with the ones I use, in no particular order:

    Unsplash 
    These are quite artistic and unusual in my opinion. Also high quality.  They seem to add new photos every day and also you don't see the same photos you find everywhere there. Here is an example from Felipe Dias ...


    Where to find free images

    Morguefile

    Has been around for ages, since 1996 in fact, when Michael Connors created it to be a free image exchange for creatives and teachers to share and use in their work. All the photos are free to download and use whether it is commercial or not.  You do have to join to download the images.

    Pixabay
    Has images and videos that are free to use. According to Pixabay "You can copy, modify, distribute, and use the images, even for commercial purposes, all without asking for permission or giving credits to the artist."

    Pikwizard

    Has over 1 million free images and videos ranging from abstract to pastel to vintage. I am excited to find so many new and fresh images on their site. This is one below...

    Pexels

    New Old Stock 
    For vintage history photos from the public archive. 

    And now to the free online photo sites that I have found for you but never used. In no particular order:

    Reshot
    These do seem to be unique photos that I have not seen elsewhere.  "Reshot grants you an irrevocable, nonexclusive copyright license to download, copy, modify, distribute, perform, and use photos from Reshot for free, including for commercial purposes, without permission from or attributing the photographer or Reshot."

    BURST

    This site is made by shopify and has high resolution free stock photos for websites and commercial use. I like how you can search through their newest photos. 

    Gratisography

    Quirky high resolution photos that are completely free of copyright restrictions. Many of the photos are by Ryan McGuire who started the site. 

    StockSnap

    There page says "Beautiful free stock photos. Hundreds of high resolution images added weekly. Free from copyright restrictions.

    Life of Pix
    Free high resolution photos and videos.

    Negative Space.

    High resolution free stock photos completely free to use, By my limited search on their site they need more photographers to upload unique photographs. 

    FREEIMAGES

    Has a huge amount (over 300,000) images free for commercial or private use. Requires a log in and sells some images. 

    picjumbo

    Has no attribution required free stock photos for blogs and websites.
